Very much this.

Just look at the TPP. The US tried to write the rules and the rest of the partners said, “No.” The US said, “Screw you guys, we’re going home!” and stormed off in a snit assuming the deal would fall apart without them but it didn’t and it ended up being better without the US imperialist bullshit. Then, US farmers realized that they were getting fucked because the US wasn’t part of the deal ([1], [2], [3]) and the US came back demanding to be let in and the US imperialist bullshit restored to the agreement. Once again the partnerd said, “No”.

Let’s let the US leave whatever they want to leave, renegotiate everything without them, then only let them return under the new terms. The world will be a much better place in the end.

EDIT: Trump ordered the US to withdraw from the TPP because the partners wouldn’t be bullied into accepting one-sided andi-competitive, anti-consumer protections for US industry and a dispute resolution process that favoured the US but that the US would ignore when it lost.

Last I heard it was 4%.

Maybe it will make 5% next year, then.

This will be the best thing that ever happened to Linux. Hell, it might even make it up to 4.5% market share.

Heh.

Actually…I was two of them. me.world and me.ca

I was one of them.

Yup. Good movie.

Infinite quantum instantiation would allow anyone with the technology to instantly find massive prime factors and decrypt anything.

No more secrets.

I’ve lost the plot. I’m not sure whose posts were removed.

It just sounded a little bit like you were jumping to his defense. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and explained it but I think that’s what happened. There are a LOT of pedants on Lemmy who will argue about whether someone said a specific word of phrase rather than addressing the underlying and obvious truth that someone is a wretched asshole (like Elon Musk.))

I think it was the phrasing. The comment you responded to didn’t say that Musk had said either of the things you asked about. If you’ve been paying attention to the news about the complaints coming out of his companies its very clear that he is those things. It seems that your question is intended to refute the contents of the comment by being pedantic about whether Musk had actually said those things.

Could be.

I think you’re getting downvoted because everyone assumes that you’re being a pedant, not because you asked a question.

I used Director.

I’m still running Photoshop CS 4 and don’t have any issues.

Uh…no. It was all about sex. The whole getting married thing was an accident.

Ah.

She told me she talked to a guy who just wanted to talk about WoW and his favourite Linux distro. She gave up when he didn’t make a move and decided to look for a real man. Was that you?

Not yet. Our son isn’t quite 16 and our daughter is 18 and into girls. It may take a few years yet.
